My name is Adam Young and I am running for Keystone Project Technical Lead.
|
|
|
|
Why I am running: I've been part of this project since it was in
|
|
incubation. During that time, I've received the benefit of several
|
|
dedicated PTLs. It is time for me to offer to do the hard work
|
|
necessary to make Keystone successful.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Keystone project gets its name from the block on an arch that is
|
|
put into position to make the whole structure self supporting. Remove
|
|
any piece of the arch and the whole thing collapses. What is notable
|
|
about a Keystone is that it has the highest degree of pressure of any
|
|
block in the arch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Keystone project fills that same role in OpenStack. It provides
|
|
the means to make OpenStack capable of architectural feats not
|
|
previously possible. But it also is the highest risk piece from a
|
|
security perspective, and it is here that, as PTL, I will focus my
|
|
attentions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
My goals for Keystone:
|
|
|
|
1. Removing the bearer aspects of tokens
|
|
2. Better delegation mechanisms to scale the management of OpenStack.
|
|
3. Improving stability, scale, and performance.
|
|
4. Simplify integration with external identity sources
|
|
|
|
As a member of the team, I have been frustrated by our inability to
|
|
make progress on some of these key aspects due to workflow
|
|
constraints. As PTL, I will look to restructuring the code approval
|
|
process to increase development throughput while increasing the
|
|
emphasis on quality.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I've been blogging since before I started on Keystone. It has been
|
|
one of the key ways that I have communicated the design, criticism,
|
|
and techniques essential for Keystone's continued success. As PTL, I
|
|
will continue to communicate, and to aid the other team members to
|
|
communicate. Keystone needs to work with the rest of the OpenStack
|
|
project teams.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's the most important part; I'm, going to do this all anyway. It
|
|
does not matter if I am PTL or not, this is how I will work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm hoping by running that I inspire other Keystone Developers to run
|
|
as well. We've got a great crew, and I am looking forward to being
|
|
part of it in this upcoming release.
